Rose Cottage, Wilberforce, Heritage timber cottage in Wilberforce, Australia.
Rose Cottage features vertical timber slab construction with original window sashes, gudgeon hinges, and traditional architectural elements from early Australian settlement.
Built between 1809 and 1820 by Thomas Rose, this residence stands as the oldest known timber slab house in Australia, remaining in the Rose family until 1961.
The cottage demonstrates early European architectural methods in New South Wales, reflecting the building practices and living conditions of colonial settlers.
Visitors can explore the cottage during Sunday open days from 10 AM to 4 PM, with entry available for a gold coin donation.
The Thomas and Jane Rose Family Society purchased the cottage back from Hawkesbury City Council in 1993 for one dollar after conservation efforts.
